Description of Private Investigations in West Virginia


West Virginia Private Investigator

West Virginia Private Investigator

A private investigator in West Virginia must apply to the West Virginia Secretary of State and pass licensing requirements, including a thorough background check. While many West Virginia private investigators come from a law enforcement or military background, it is not a requirement for employment as a private investigator. Often times a degree in Criminal Justice or other security and investigation work can be just as important to prospective employers.

In the State of West Virginia, it is against the law to provide the services of a private investigator without a West Virginia Private Investigator License. You can rest assured that any West Virginia private investigator assigned to your case with ICS is an authorized sub-contractor fully licensed and insured in accordance with West Virginia State Laws and participates in the required continuing education.

ICS has been helping people in West Virginia just like you get results since 1967.
